Balmforth needs to improve if he wants a bench spot next year. Was really happy when he signed his extension (and still am) but all the promise he showed last year seems non existent this year. Can't remember a single dangerous run from dummy half he's done so far (he may have done a couple, but nothing stands out to me at the moment). Cust has shown more threat from 9 in such limited time there than Balmforth has for me. He was really poor last night, but we know he has plenty of improvement in him, he just needs to show it soon as I'm sure Hutchinson will be chomping at the bit to earn a bench spot.

Yes hope fully Jed can get a run of games in make or break for him, Big John very close, Pryce close to, we won't bring anyone in now. 

Putting together a big pack is all well and done, but there is still a lack of quality to compliment it in the backs. Just hoping we can sign a good three-quarter and maybe another half back.
I don't mind Cust, but I think he's more suited as an interchange nine, but then I'd worry about Balmforth, who I rate highly. I'm sure the powers that be are doing all they can to move us forward recruitment wise.

First job in rugby get a good pack .. Without that you win nowt ....Am sure the powers to be will know we need some backs to ...But it is a rebuild ..... We are definitely going in the right direction..... All most of us asked this year was a team that gives it's all and didn't collapse...We have that... Yes we are struggling now but that was to be expected given the injuries to key players .....

Absolutely we're a re-build, I'm looking beyond next season before we hopefully start to reap any rewards. There's a new found fight in the side which is all we could have hoped for. In Cartwright and Co we trust..
